NatRoad encourages transport operators to save on costs and ‘get fleet fit’

Fleet

NatRoad’s ‘Get fleet fit’ program launched in August as a practical roadmap to help truck operators – particularly those with a small fleet – cut costs and improve profits as much as possible.

The initiative is a five-page resource that targets areas and includes information about topics including monitoring sustainability, finding business opportunities and implementing plans for top results.

NatRoad CEO Warren Clark says the road transport industry can band together and help each other in uncertain times of change.

“In a time when margins are tightening and costs steadily climbing, the need for efficiency has never been greater. As the CEO of NatRoad, I see firsthand the challenges our members and our industry face, from fluctuating fuel prices to the increasing demand for sustainable practice and the reduction of carbon emissions,” Clark says.

“At NatRoad, we want to help with this transition, and assist trucking businesses to measure and manage their emissions in preparation for the inevitable. That’s why we have developed ‘Get fleet fit’, a new program designed to help truck operators, particularly those with a small fleet, navigate these turbulent times not just sustainably, but also more profitably.

“In addition to the up-and-coming changes relating to the management and reporting of emissions, operating costs for trucking are on the rise and profit margins are not what they once were. In response, every business owner must now look at innovative ways to reduce expenses and enhance operational efficiency.

“While the environmental benefits of reducing emissions are widely recognised, the immediate need for most small truck operators is to find ways to save money and stay competitive. Get fleet fit can help with this as well.

“Change can be daunting, especially for small operators. That’s why we at NatRoad are committed to supporting you every step of the way. Participating in ‘Get fleet fit’ doesn’t just mean making adjustments to your operations, it means being part of a community that navigates these changes together.”
